England's New One Day Captain Alastair Cook |
London : England Opening batsman Alastair Cook named England’s one-day captain after Andrew Strauss opted to retire from the limited over’s cricket.
Alastair Cook’s promotion is a surprise since he was overlooked for England’s World Cup campaign that ended with a 10-wicket thrashing by co-hosts and runners-up Sri Lanka in the
quarter-finals.With this new move England will now have three different captains in international cricket as fast bowler Stuart Broad was installed as Twenty20 skipper after Paul Collingwood decided to step down from the role.
